One aspect that captivates my attention and elicits a sense of disappointment is the fact that my spouse operates a Nissan Altima Coupe equipped with a continuously variable transmission (CVT). One of the factors that contributed to my acceptance of selecting the Audi CVT was its inclusion in the decision-making process. Nevertheless, it is important to note that the responsiveness and smoothness of Nissan's continuously variable transmission (CVT) much surpasses that of Audi's, which is undeniably disheartening given the substantial disparity in cost. The engagement of the Audi's transmission exhibits a noticeable degree of jerkiness in comparison to that of our Nissan vehicle. The Audi continuously variable gearbox (CVT) has a responsiveness akin to that of a manual transmission. Could it be postulated that Audi intentionally calibrated its continuously variable transmission (CVT) to emulate the characteristics of a manual gearbox? If this is the case, it suggests a lack of comprehension of the U.S. market. It is notable that Audi's approach of expecting consumers to modify their driving style rather than developing a continuously variable transmission (CVT) that aligns with the preferences of their paying clientele might be seen as displaying a certain level of arrogance. Particularly when considering the higher cost. While I have a strong affinity for my Audi, I similarly had a deep fondness for my prior BMW, and it is quite likely that I would have developed a similar sentiment for the Mercedes I had the opportunity to test drive. In order to remain competitive in the future, it is imperative that Audi ensures the accuracy and effectiveness of their actions. I would exhibit some reluctance in considering the repurchase of an Audi vehicle, given the formidable competition posed by other premium companies operating within the same price range. Subconsciously, I harbor a desire for having acquired the 328i.

The phenomenon you are elucidating is indeed characteristic of continuously variable transmissions (CVTs). The engagement of the mechanism will not occur until the brake is disengaged and the accelerator is depressed.

Upon conducting research, it has been determined that the Mazda Premacy is really identical to the Mazda5. While it is true that various countries throughout the globe may offer different engine choices, it might be argued that these differences do not significantly alter the fundamental nature of the automobile.

My mass air flow sensor (MAF) was clean when I removed it from the air box. The change was night and day after I washed the sensor's inside with brake cleaner that did not include chlorine. A helpful tip I picked up from the discussion here. The airflow meter, a small metal sliver, is very sensitive.

As a side note, with the introduction of OBDII in 1996, the vast majority of problem codes have universal meanings across car makes and models. That's why it's possible to use any generic scan tool: all diagnostic connections are in the same position and appear the same.

Thanks a bunch! No way were they red; these signs are much easier to read. There were no blinking side lights on these orange ones. Nothing bad will happen, but if it does, it will be my first accident in almost 40 years of driving.

Hello Today, on my way back from the shore, I was nearly under an orange speed sign that read 50 miles per hour, then 40 miles per hour, and finally clear. I was so preoccupied with the vehicles cutting over in front of me at the last minute that I didn't even see the sign until I was almost under it. I assume I'm OK, but just in case, I've never had a speeding ticket in my 43+ years of driving, so it won't hurt to ask. What do the orange signs mean—are they digital or just "advisory"? There's always been some danger involved, but I've always followed the instructions to the letter. For obvious reasons, I didn't want to slam on the brakes, and it appeared like the vehicles in front of me were going to keep going at around 50 mph, but when I checked my rearview mirror, I saw that the cars behind me were slowing down. Since the gantries are so close together, 25 seconds of driving at 50 mph would result in Just curious; will be more careful in the future (btw, getting off at the Blackfen junction involved half a mile of traffic and so many inbreds bullying their way in near the turning and over the solid white lines with the last few feet of the turning; one was a small white van; the guy in front of me refused to let him in; however, his vehicle was a new(ish) landrover, and the bully got out of his van and approached the other vehicle.## I count myself lucky that I've never had a long commute to work.

You may discover many helpful images by doing a Google image search for "engine size year."

I had assumed that the motor was a 215 of the kind installed in 1963 and 1964 Buick Specials and Wildcats. They appeared in the Buick Apollo line as well. I have 3 engines that I bought throughout the years with the intention of installing one in my MGB someday. Not there yet, however.

Recently acquired. I appreciate the suggestion. The previous owner used an air freshener, and now there's a pleasant scent that won't go away. My wife is very sensitive to odors and suffers from severe allergies; as a result, we must travel in our Forester on any trip longer than twenty miles. Smells Begone, which doesn't have any added smell, does assist a little. If not, I hope this helps.

The fact that OM602 is a diesel engine seems evident to me. Anyway, I appreciate the feedback.

Hi All! My W124 has an OM602 engine, and it's giving me some trouble. From zero, oil pressure takes around 8 seconds to reach operating temperature. As long as the oil pressure is maintained, the engine may be operated normally. I have hypothesized that the issue is a faulty non return valve in the filter housing. I got fortunate and found a new old stock valve; these are no longer sold by the dealer and I had to replace it along with the spring. The issue has not been resolved, unfortunately. We see no progress. I have no idea where to start looking. There is apparently another valve in the block that maintains lubricating system pressure. Can someone provide a hand with this? Definitely appreciate it. Embedded video demonstrating the issue is below.

I like the appearance of the MK5, but I'm not positive if I'll purchase one when my MK4.5 dies. If I did, it would be one of the more recent 8-speed(?) automatics.

I have just received a response from David Walker, the director of Hyundai UK. He informed me that he will investigate the fuel consumption issue.

The option does not concern me since it is so unusual for me to purchase a quantity of tires in the double digits, much alone the single digits. My opinions haven't changed much over the years; I'll always put new tires on the drive axle (provided they aren't ditchfinders), and I'd never want a 4WD to have varying tyre depths anyhow, so it doesn't matter to me where I place the new ones on the other wheels. This isn't some driving god self-delusional thing, but, the majority of us who know our cars and understand how to operate them have the greatest ability to make such decisions for ourselves. I know that the official position is new to the rear, but as with everything else these days, a single size has to fit all, and it's perpetually centered on those who haven't a clue (which is one of the numerous reasons why our businesses, mine included, have gone around the U bend). In real-world situations, most FWD automobiles have a propensity to plough straight on, also known as understeering. I don't know about you guys, but I'm a lot happier attempting to correct an overturn than I am realizing the front wheels are no longer doing anything, which is a situation that is very tough to remedy in time. There isn't a single person in the world who bats an eye when a vehicle with staggered wheels requires a new set of tires; does this mean they are immune to grip issues? What I don't understand is why so many people choose cars with hugely wide tyres, which requires weight along with decent tread to shift a great deal of water, nonetheless so many people will run their tyres down to just depth...the number of smaller luxury cars (not heavy enough?) such as lower/middle range RWD German marques often fitted with ridiculously wide elastic bands i've seen ceased up in excessive rainfall stuffed down the motorway armco throughout the years have to maneuver into the many many

Very great!

Good day and welcome. If you get into difficulty, we will try to help as much as possible. For practical reasons, I'm still using Windows 98 on my. In my opinion, using 95ron will provide you with safety. I'm certain you'll discover some helpful information on the X Car Link by using the site's search function.

My automobile has never experienced serious misting problems. Willpower may have a point, since I do, in fact, often change out my pollen filters.
